So for All Cases, I've noticed that the current runners wait during the credit scenes before continuing the run as normal, while this makes sense, would it be allowed so that after the final objection on Turnabout Goodbyes you could just exit out of the game and relaunch it to start Rise from the Ashes? It would save several minutes of waiting and make the run a bit shorter.

The current rules for 100% state that you just have to win every race in Competition Mode, while this is fine I'm not sure that's the correct way to be defining "100%" for this game.

I propose that 100% includes beating Competition Mode, obtaining all characters and unique boards. While this seems like a long category, it's probably more fitting.

Either way no one is running the game anyway but I'd be interested to hear any feedback.

No one has any real interest in running them I'm guessing.

I spoke with themataurian on his stream and we discussed the potential for a Discord server for runners of this game. So here it is: It's a work in progress server at the time of posting however it's a place to discuss the game, strats and showcase our PBs. Here's the invite for those that are interested: https://discord.gg/58XQNyD

Seems perfectly fine to me. Also disabling "Free Will Mode" prevents your Sims from doing anything on their own accord, I don't see any reason why players can't have it disabled. I did so on my Max Skills run.

Edit: Thinking about it, we could just have it whereby the timer starts as soon as you gain control of your sim(s). So it doesn't matter too much if you have Special Events Camera on or off.

I have had a run pending for The Sims 2 for over a month and the moderator has not been online even before I submitted it. As I've mentioned in previous posts here, I've tried and failed in contacting the moderator and the user @NTRG has been requesting to be a mod for some time. Now that it's been over a month is it possible for either @NTRG or myself to be added as a moderator so my run can be verified? Thanks.

Googling "Cool Boarders 2 records" shows a few level times submitted to another website, I think it would be a good idea to have these records added to the IL boards as well.

Ok so I found something a while back, there was a speedrun for Game Dev Tycoon on Twin Galaxies from 2015, however it didn't match any of the categories we had back then or have now. The run's goal was to get to 10M cash as fast as possible. I think this should be added as a category to the leaderboard as a run does exist for it and today some interest was shown on the Discord.

Here is the run in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=dTtxNlmf_Gc

What does everyone else think?

While I'm at it I'm removing the Pirate Mode categories as no one is running them.

Couldn't runners just use the Save File Editor in the resources section if they wanted to run individual levels?

Strange, I was able to add it. Oh well it's done now. Cheers for the splits.

Could you post this in the resources section? Thanks

United KingdomTheJayJay6 years ago

Yes you can use Zen Chuzzle

Not that I'm aware of. You just have to try and memorize the section or be very quick to react when it looks like you're about to fall off. It took me some time to get it correctly myself.

@Liv Thanks for assisting. By the way I only mentioned my run as a reason as to why I was bringing itup again since @NTRG had tried previously without contacting the moderator, I'm not that bothered that it's not been verified immediately. Cheers

To add on to what @NTRG mentioned (https://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/thread/63nr7/338#3tvjo) I tried contacting the mod myself. Their Twitch channel seems to be mostly inactive now. They have no past broadcasts at the time of writing, their last video was from over a year ago.

I also tried contacting them via Discord but I wasn't able to find them. I directly copied their username as it's written on their SRC profile and tried to find them/add them as a friend and nothing came up: https://i.gyazo.com/a1044609faf22c14055d0070be8e3f79.png

I'm aware it hasn't been the full 3 weeks yet, however I felt like I should try contacting the mod as it's my run that I'm waiting to be verified. I'm not asking to be added as a moderator to the game myself.

(NOTE: THIS NO LONGER WORKS)

In patches of the game from v1.0 onwards there are certain glitches that were fixed, most notably the wall clip glitch. If we were to have pre v1.0 runs compete against post v1.0 runs, the playing field would not be even (hence why they're currently separated), however you can go back to the pre v1.0 version by opting into it on Steam. Here's how:

  1. While in your Steam Library, right-click on PC Building Simulator and select 'Properties'

  2. Go to the Beta tab

  3. On the dropdown menu select "career_v1 - Legacy (old) career mode"

  4. Close the Properties menu and launch the game.

  5. Wait for the game to update back to the old version and play!

If you're running using this version though please make sure you submit your run under "Pre-v1.0".

The current only moderator for PC Building Simulator hasn't been online in over a month, on the Discord server for the game someone has shown that they're waiting for a run to be verified and the moderator has barely spoken there recently as well.

He had mod applications open since last year and I've asked him there and over at the Discord if he'd make me a moderator for the game. He did get back to me on Discord asking me to "remind him in 7-8 hours" which I did and he still hasn't.

So I'm asking if it's possible to be added as a moderator. https://www.speedrun.com/PC_Building_Simulator

Could have subcategories for CFS and Expert perhaps?
